Answer 5

Im not in the army, but i know a lot of people in the services. You get 30 days paid vacation every year. U can choose to not get vacation for one year and then have 60 days the next. U usually do a tour of duty that lasts about a year. I would suggest goin to jump school and try to get accepted in Ranger school, or go in the 101 or 82
